Moon Pussy

 

Moon Pussy is a loud, noise-rock band piloted by Cristina Cuellar (Vocals, Bass), Ethan Hahn (Guitar), and Cory Hager (Drums) blasting through 4-dimensional space. Their sonic spaceship is a finely tuned machine pieced together from up-cycled materials and well lubricated by cheap beer and indigestion. Their own unique sounds have been refined over the years, usually in detriment of their profession careers, through a consistent digging in of their heels on bad ideas. Originating from humble beginnings with a focus on contributing to local non-profits through a music medium and an extensive guerilla marketing campaign, Ethan (Kaboom, Tank Tank, Handbrake), Cory (Drink to Victory, Douche, Last Men, NFU) and Cristina (Fetish Eyes) are now looking to expand their experience to the great unknown.

To date, Moon Pussy has tried to answer the continued question “Why are you buying more gear?” by producing one 14-track album (Recorded @ Infinite Ohm Studios, Mastered by Matthew Barnhart of Chicago Mastering SVC) and are currently working on a second. Additional tracks have been contributed to compilations for Grackle Records, Birdy Magazine, and Glasss Records.

Review of the new Self Titled album 11.2.2020:

I remember I was completely blown a way when I head Moon Pussy for the first time. This band has a very very cool sound that does not bore, it does not matter how many times you listen to it. I still listen regularly to their 2019 release ‘Band Meating’.

Hurray, Joy, Feast, Party! Their new album is out and it is amazing from start to finish. Their sound is even better! the tracks have this rocknroll sound which makes it so catchy and easy to listen to while their riffs are so good and noisy. This is fast paced noiserock, but now and then the tracks slow down and they let you enjoy the heavy riffs.

A super entertaining album that is really noisy and heavy but still easy to listen too. Moon Pussy really scores with their self titled! Buy it! It is out on The Ghost is Clear!

Favorite track: “Criff and Moths” and “Fail Better” and “Tour” and well you get the picture I guess.”—Fuzzy Sun (Link)

“Guitar riffs like swarms of angry insects sweeping through. Syncopated percussion like start-and- stop jackhammers. Bass lines like a half-ton coil being struck and emitting a menacing fluidity. Tortured vocals erupt with Brutalist, post-hardcore poetry. All of this helps to make this latest Moon Pussy record the perfect companion and reaction to a radically uncertain world seemingly in perpetual crisis mode and on the verge of we know not what. Fans of bands on the Amphetamine Reptile imprint or Touch and Go will be thrilled with Moon Pussy’s seemingly endless supply of inspired, aggressive and savage noise rock riffs and the ability to articulate directly from a place of desperation and outrage. “Fail Better” should be the theme song of these United States.” Tom Murphy via Birdy (Link)

“When I see a band name like Moon Pussy I instantly expect good noisy music. And they deliver some freakin good music too, the Colorado trio consists of Ethan A. Hahn, Cory Hager and Crissy Cuellar. With these three people they make a hell of a racket. In January the band shared their new album called ‘Band Meating’. If you think these cool names going to stop, you are wrong. Moon Pussy does not only deliver crushing noiserock with hellish vocals, they have good names for every track like ‘Buttler’, ‘Sports Fuck’ and ‘Butt Hash’. ‘Band Meating’ is filled with good riffs and high energy tracks. With enough variation on their tracks the album stays interesting and is pretty addictive. This is the kind of noiserock that everyone needs to hear.” — Fuzzy Sun

“Moon Pussy‘[s] use of truly inventive guitar treatments built from the onboard electronics out alongside cathartic vocals and rhythms that operate at odd angles against rock orthodoxy makes it one of the most interesting bands in Denver or anywhere now. For fans of Daughters and Parts & Labor.” – Simianthinker (Denver Westword contributor)

“Moon Pussy is a three piece band from Denver, Colorado, who formed in 2016, from the looks of things. Moon Pussy play a killer style of music that incorporates elements of punk, grunge, sludge, and noise rock within their sound. Musically, Moon Pussy can be loosely compared to bands such as Couch Slut, Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Unsane, Tongue Party, and other like-minded bands. Since forming in 2016, Moon Pussy have released a self-titled EP in January of 2017. Band Meating is the band's debut full-length LP, which was released on January 1st, 2019. On Band Meating, Moon Pussy offer up fourteen tracks of weird, ugly, filthy, and off-kilter punk, grunge, sludge, and noise rock. Overall, Band Meating makes for an amazing listen and definitely should not be missed. Highly recommended! Enjoy!” — Dead Puplit
